Disenchanting freedom. 2007-02-04 06:31:46 I absolutely love not living in my parents house. A couple of days ago i realized how amazing it is to not have a curfew, no stupid family game nights (not that I really hated them), can watch as much TV as you want… etc, etc, etc. But as I experience more and more of the joys of independence I have realized one thing. My choice of food that I eat has become absolutely ridiculous.
Last week I went grocery shopping. Normal enough, but for some reason, when I was all finished and putting the food away into the kitchen, I took some time to actually look at what I had purchased. Cookie dough (Pillsbury), Chocolate chip cookies, 1 Gal. of Cookies and Cream ice cream, and, milk. I didn’t even end up getting anything that was actually of sustenance. I got hungry later that night and made a ice cream sandwich and ate some cookie dough. Not the best meal. On top of that you should see some of the things i’ve done with: A.) Macaroni & Cheese + canned chicken; B.)R
the return. 2007-10-25 18:57:15 It is time to come back. Back to daily updates in the world of the blog. I have barely anybody to vent to anymore. Most people have deserted me in the hopes of getting into his good graces. Well fuck his good graces, and fuck them. There isn’t much of a loss there anyways, fair weather friends have no place in my life.
Regardless of the fact that I picked shitty friends, life is good. Everything is turning/going to turn out amazing. All doubts and fears have been relinquished over the past months. My Spirit Song is shining brighter than ever. It resonates in perfect harmony with the stars of 1 million galaxies. HA. (i’m not crazy, that part is a joke.) But seriously, everything is good. Everything is peachy keen. Everything is swell. ok.
Anyways, like I said, I’m going to update more. I know I’m the only one who really reads this, so I guess I’m just trying to reiterate this to myself. But also, on the off chance someone else does read th
sexual frustrations. 2007-10-26 21:53:48 The American Government is engaging in acts of chemical warfare on it’s own people.
By not teaching the children of America about safe sex.
What about the sexual education programs in schools, you ask? In more and more areas schools are only allowed to teach abstinence or the Govt. can cut funding for the sex ed program Most schools that fall into this group will never even mention or will give out “untrue facts” about female and male contraceptives I understand and agree that abstinence is a good choice, but to completely cut out the fact that there are ways to have safe sex is just pure idiocy. So for the kids who are scared into following through with there abstinence vows, they will be fine. But for ones that don’t are they just expected to have unsafe sex? That’s where it get’s me, what do those kids do? No one taught them about condoms, so they don’t use one, girl gets pregnant, and then there’s 3 more people that my tax do
wonderfully worded. 2007-10-26 17:45:37 Today I understand the real power that words possess. It’s amazing that I can read something and have it completely affect how I feel, and what I feel. This letter that I got changed my mood/outlook for the whole day, probably the whole week, maybe a whole month… possibly a year… etc. etc…. I’m not saying that I haven’t ever read anything that made me feel some sort of emotion. I’m just saying that I can understand now why people will read a letter, and then want to change the world. It never made sense to me, until I got something that made me feel such extreme feelings.
The strange thing is, is that most of the things that were mentioned in this letter had been told to me vocally a number of times. But seeing it there in writing, it changed them somehow. The meanings felt stronger, and it seemed impossible that they could be just empty feelings (not that i ever thought that they were). Maybe that’s because they are right th
Sabbath Slavery. 2007-10-31 16:59:26 When I first moved to this small, conservative, Dutch-Reformed, Western Michigan town, it was hard to adjust to some of the longtime residents customs. Our first big run in with the neighbors occurred about 3 weeks after we moved in. On a fine sunday afternoon, after lunch with the family I was instructed to go and mow the lawn. Where I used to live this would be no problem at all. I grew up in a predominantly catholic town, which was about 25 minutes outside of Chicago. It was a fairly large town, with good people and amazingly good times. Back to the story, so I grabbed the lawnmower and started it, and proceeded to mow the lawn. About 10 minutes into my task a neighbor came by and asked me what I was doing, I looked at him like he was a moron, so he went and knocked on the door and asked for my mother. He then proceeded to tell her, in a fashion that i found out later to be typical dutch reformed snobbery, that in this town we don’t do “manual labor” on Read more:Sabbath

unattainable life. 2007-11-04 20:08:46 maybe we’re all destined to live life a little screwed up. you read in some books or see on television where people have all the answers where their mission is definite, there tasks are clear. it seems that no matter what is happening it is all wrapped in a neat little package. no fuss, no mess, no burden. but is that reality? is that what it’s supposed to be like? are we… am i, doing things wrong?
those expectations are shit. because even though books like that are of a more popular breed, the authors are just writing and selling lies. in all reality everyone has a little “fuck up” in them. none of us are perfect. what amazes me is not the person who seems to do everything right, but the person who runs into problems but finds a way to overcome. inner strength. resolve. characteristics of a solid person. so fuck modeling your life after “perfect people”. their stature is unattainable and undesirable. i’m going to be real. to m
